IIRC it was stock config- if I were given a do-over I would try japanese tight fit but as you mentioned the sizing difference is almost negligible. I think the hide is very thick and with the quilting and zipper hardware its a true moto jacket. I expected something less substantial, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, the quilting makes is a warm piece an pretty substantial. However, I am pretty sure that on a custom job, you can choose to get a regular satin lining or something of the like. I agree that the zippers are pretty "hardcore". However, from what I've seen from SLP for instance, large ass zippers are not uncommon in the fashion world either.

Ah, these mysterious bad reviews. Where did you read them? I've been searching for a while, but can't seem to find any...

I assume this was a stock jacket? Otherwise you could've gotten the slimmer and longer, adjusted for your body type. I wear my 391 all the time with denim and a shirt, T-shirt or sweatshirt and it looks great imho. Not much difference between mine and the looks of a fashion item like a TOJ/Falcon. My 2 cents of course...

lol I've actually read some comments on this forum and fedoralounge. I'ved tried one on at DSMNY and the ROLL Lewis Leather store in Tokyo. Felt nice but wasn't 100% sold on buying it. Plus, I would have had to buy one made to measure, since the off the rack one didn't fit me exactly how I wanted it to.

Can anyone recommend a leather bomber jacket? preferably in the 400 dollar price range. All saints has a couple but they're 600 dollars. I just bought a denim bomber, but If i could find a leather one I would return my denim jacket and buy a leather jacket.

Can you go up several hundred dollars more if it means better quality? because if you can, you can always buy a Falcon garments leather bomber(they have an affiliate thread here). Even then, I'm sure with some patience you can find one from the brand in the 400 dollar range on the second hand market here on this site or ebay.

probably not at this point. I think I'll just stick with my denim bomber and wait for next season or the season after that to get a life lasting leather jacket, assuming i don't get fat. Thanks though!

Yea they're basically the definition of hit or miss, those biggie and korn inspired text printed shirts are reallll bad, maybe thats the point? Most of the time Japanese brands use english text on clothing it's garbage.
